Thank goodness we acquired some extra INT just prior to this section!---216Due to our intensive studying, we're prepared for Arno's attempt to put us to Sleep so he can molest us like a pervert and then murder us. We focus our will and become completely alert. We concentrate on each individual grain of sand as it strikes our face.We resist the spell. Arno is shaken by our mental fortitude. And turnabout is fair play.One could hear a pin drop in the room. Beads of sweat stand out on Arno's forehead. The only thing missing is an Ennio Morricone soundtrack to make this as tense a quickdraw contest.We take the vial of sand and throw some at Arno while we say "'Shhhh!" and imagine "perfect quiet and stillness."Arno tries to fight our spell but is overcome. He falls to the floor to the cheers of the other novices. We look around and grab a quill from a nearby inkwell which we use to draw a mustache on Arno's upper lip. Then we pinch him to wake him up."You're right, Arno," we say, "you can do anything to the victim of a Sleep spell." Arno goes pale as he hears the class's laughter and realizes what happened. He clambers to his feet and angrily points a finger at us ---- but is interrupted by Beldon, who must have that school teacher's sixth sense about when students are about to get into a fight. Beldon cannot suppress a smile at our accomplishment, though, and he advises that Arno should be more careful about choosing opponents who "may be stronger than you imagine."Beldon dismisses the class.Arno glares at us with an even more fierce expression of hatred as we saunter out of the room.Because we "seem to be smarter than [our] original die roll" we get to add 1 to our INT, and because we drew a mustache on a helpless victim we get to 2 to our CHA. We record Sleep in our spellbook and turn back to (16).</blockquote>
